Fixing A CD Player With Sticky Draws - Shrinking Disc Tray Drive Belts With Hot Water - Repair Guide

In this video I repair a faulty CD player with trays that stick and only open intermittently. This is caused by the drive tray belts stretching over time and you can normally get away with doing this little trick to fix the problem. All you require to try this is a few screwdrivers, some boiling hot water and around half an hour of your time.

You will sometimes find the trays will only stick when there is no CD left in the player and that you can get them to open by tapping the top or front of the draw. Almost all issues with the tray opening/closing is usually caused by this rubber drive belt.

Most CD player mechanisms are identical so this guide should cover most cases.
In this video I show you the repair on a KAM KCD 960 Twin Professional Rack-Mounted Unit.

It should be a very similar process for a DVD player or any other device with a disc mechanism/tray.

This repair will usually last a good few years, providing you use boiling hot water and the belts are not overly perished, brittle and worn-out. In this case you would need to look for a replacement belt.
I have also made a quick video guide on adjusting the laser when the player won't read discs or takes a long time to read. You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/wMqRHxRx6aw
